A rotary root vegetable slicer that is reliably held at an installed position even when water enters into the lower surface of the bed plate, and can be easily removed from the installed position. The rotary root vegetable slicer (1) includes a bed plate (2) of a nearly square shape as viewed on a plane, a blade-mounting member (5) erected at an end of the bed plate (2) for detachably mounting a plane blade (3) and a comb blade (4), a rotary piece-mounting member (6 ) on a portion on the other side of the bed plate (2) opposed to the blade-mounting member (5) so as to slide along the lengthwise direction of the bed plate (2), and a rotary piece (8) having many needle-like protrusions (7) arranged on the front surface thereof at an upper part of the rotary piece-mounting member (6) so as to rotate. Protuberances (12) are formed on the lower surface (11) of the bed plate (2) at both ends on the side of the blade-mounting member (5), and anti-slip pieces (19) made of a natural rubber are fitted to the protuberances (12). Even when water enters into the lower surface (11) of the bed plate (2) while the rotary root vegetable slicer (1) is being used, a sufficiently large frictional force is maintained owing to the natural rubber forming the anti-slip pieces (19), and the rotary root vegetable slicer (1) is held on the installation surface (15). Since the anti-slip pieces (19) have not been adsorbed, the rotary root vegetable slicer (1) can be easily removed.
